Just got a new fridge with a smaller freezer, so I've got to get rid of a few of these boxes! I bought these during my first couple of months of 4x5 shooting when I was a bit bid-happy, and I haven't had a chance to try most of them. They're all pretty old, and I've got no idea how many sheets are actually in each box, so it's a bit of a crapshoot! I've only tested two of them, too. They are:
1. T-Max 400, exp 04/2003. There should be 24 sheets in here, since I opened the box myself and only used one (though there's a chance I shot another without marking it). That shot was definitely on the grainy side, but acceptable.
2. Ektachrome 64T, exp 11/2002. The note says "approx 10sh."
3. Vericolor HC, exp 10/1990. No number of sheets marked, so let's assume it's also 3-4.
4. Vericolor II, exp 2/1980. There's a sticky note with "005" on it, so maybe that means 5 sheets?
5. Pro 100 (color), exp 10/1999. Marked as "3-4 sheets."
6. "Professional B/W Duplicating Film." I belive there are 11 sheets in this one. I have no idea what it is - I tried two sheets of it a while ago and they came out blank. Maybe you'll have better luck?
There it is! Seriously, all of this could be total crap, so please don't be mad at me if it turns out to be. A few of these have an "X" on the side in sharpie, which could either be ominous or just mean that they've been opened. I suppose it's a big bonus if that Ektachrome is ok!
So, let's say...$43 shipped to CONUS?
